"Natural" labour vs. Induced labour

Sarah

Hi ladies,

I hope you're all doing well and staying safe and healthy! To those who have already had their Jan babies, congrats!

I'm reaching out to the mamas who have had a vaginal birth where labour started on its own vs. An induced birth.

With my first, labour was over 72hrs long but I was able to have a vaginal birth with no epidural. Truthfully, I didn't experience any pain until I was 9cm dilated.

I'm going to be induced on Tuesday if stubborn little babe doesn't show up before then and am super worried about the pain. I've heard how terrible and intense the pain is and it's freaking me out!

I guess I'm just looking to hear from your experiences. The good and bad.

A big thanks in advance to those of you who answer 😊
